Default Just got the APR chip...

God... my car is completely different now. I am driving like a dick head more and more. Whenever I want to pass
someone, I just burn them. I have only one problem with it, Im guessing it has to do with the turbo more than
anything. Ill be in first and it seems theres a bad turbo lag, around 3 to 4 RPMS... the Turbo kicks in and it just
EXPLODES with power

....... and then I have to shift gears. I really dont like that because it just explodes out. Is that a turbo lag? This
may be a stupid question but is there an easy way to change gear ratios? I would love to have 1st gear be longer..

Aside from that and bad MPG (the way I drive), this chip is definatly worth it. Now Im power hungry...

Sorry for the weird formatting, these forums dont support Opera or at least this version of it.. I have to press enter
at the end of the sentences.

I have the same APR chip. You aren't feeling turbo lag, rather, the rather steep curve.

Gas mileage will be fine when you calm down a bit. Make sure you have updated you diverter valve.

Currently, I drive almost 100% highway at 80 mph and get 30 mpg with my APR chip.

there is no way to change gear ratios.
